I am confused now... are you going to use TSDZ2B and bike parts to make flat packed self assembling Ikea furniture?

You check it with your fingers, not with your eyes. When you locate puncture on inner tube you know more or less there tyre was punctured. Put fingers inside tyre and check gently (so you won't hurt yourself) for presence of any unwanted objects like thorns etc. I check while wearing rubber...

That is a valuable recommendation, but price of HS33s is eyewatering.

Great. ...I will tell you a secret: As forum member you are entitled to get TSDZ8 motor at discounted price. It is theoretically a great motor: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/woosh-starts-shipping-tongsheng-tsdz8-with-250w-label.46570/ I just got mine delivered few minutes ago.

OK... when I said your bike will be 5kg heavier I meant your Apollo after conversion. Woosh

Are you looking at ready made bikes or want to convert your Apollo?

Bike will be 2-5kg heavier. Pain in lower back to put it in and to take it out, but it can be done.

I have super mini and was transporting two bikes with front wheels removed. I prefer rack though. Weight might be bigger problem than size.

After you convert to e-bike you will probably cycle more often and for longer distances. One decent battery should be enough.

25 years on Apollo bike... oh dear... There are so many fantastic bikes at great price on sale now. Treat yourself. You deserve it. And welcome.

Did you ride it off road?

And how mudguard is mounted to your frame? Zip tie? At the end of the day it is just a flimsy plastic. One kick and it will be in pieces, but if you are happy with that, then keep it. I think I prefer this £5 battery lock.

All great brakes and at good price, but of no use to Wayners. He is looking for rim brakes.

Wayners has no disc brake mounts on his frame.

My battery is unlocked all the time. Lost all keys :( Can't you just slide down this Hiplok after you break mudguard with your hands?

You haven't seen a picture of Saracen's bike yet? Really?

It is normal when somebody keeps changing inner tubes, but doesn't check tyre for thorns/nails etc.

On Youtube video he posted it was maybe 6mph.

I appreciate your sentiment. You say you are not happy with your brake pads, but it is likely you might need to change whole brake to see real improvement. Bikes4two mentioned top of the line Magura brakes. They have very good reputation. Here is something cheaper...
